Chapter 2
A car arrived in front of the Alfea high. Bloom walked out of the car along with her sister and parents. She was nervous.
-Don't worry honey! It's all gonna be fine.-said her mom as she and her dad went to take Bloom luggage out of the car.
-Bloom, if you need anything just call me.-said her sister Daphne.
-Thanks. I'm not really nervous, only because I'm afraid someone will find out I'm a…mermaid.-she whispered the last part.
Only her sister knew she was a mermaid. Bloom wasn't really sure, but she thought that that weird event on MAKO in the moon pool was the reason for this. Every time she touched water, she would turn in to a mermaid in 10 seconds. She returns to her human self (clothes and all) when she's dry. She has a power to manipulate water. She found out she's a mermaid the day she came back home (the day after the whole MAKO adventure). When she touched the water to wash her hands, she fell to the ground with a tail. When she dried she came back to her normal look, and the tail disappeared. Later on she told her sister, but not her parents.
-It's ok, just stay away from water.-said Daphne-Gotta go now, bye!
They hugged. Her parents left along with Daphne.
Bloom took a map from the free Alfea high maps that were being given away in front of the school.
She looked at it. The school was right in front of the sea. It was huge. The school had four huge classrooms for every subject. It had a study hall and a huge library. There was also a cafeteria, it was enormous. The school had five floors. On the lowest floor was the cafeteria, the infirmary (which was pretty big), principal's office, head of discipline's office and the teacher's lounge. The first floor had a classroom for every subject for the freshmen, the second floor for the sophomores, the third for the juniors and the fourth for the seniors. The library and study hall were on the fifth floor. The gym was 10 meters away from the school. It was also huge. When you walk inside there is a boys changing room on the left, and a girls changing room on the right. Then there's the basketball, football, tennis, soccer, handball, volleyball, baseball and fencing court. After the courts, there is a really big pool with two special boys and girls changing rooms for the pool only.
Bloom looked at the other buildings on the map. There were two buildings from the left side of the school, and two from the right. The buildings on the left were: a building with the boys' dorms and a building with the male teachers' dorms. On the right the buildings were: a building with the girls' dorm and a building with the female teachers' dorms. Their dorms were just like in the Winx Club episodes (the guys' dorms are as RF and the girls' were as Aflea's). The buildings with the teachers' dorms were on three floors, and the buildings with the students' dorms were on five floors. On every floor there were around ten dorms. Grizelda was in charge of the girls' dorm building, and Codatorta on the boys' dorm building.
Bloom headed inside the school. She knocked on the principals' door.
-Come in.-she heard a female voice. She entered the room the find Stella sitting on a chair in front of the two co principals.
-Good afternoon. My name is Miss. Faragonda.
-And my name is Saladin. We are the co principals of the school.
-This is out new student…-started Miss F.
-Stella!-said Bloom.
-Bloom!-said Stella as she hugged her.
-I can see you've already met.-said Miss Faragonda.
-Yes.-said Bloom-My name is Bloom.
-Here you are.-Miss F was pointing on a name from the list she had in front of her-You're rooming with miss Stella and four other girls.
-Yes!-said Stella.
-Your room is on the fifth floor, it's the last one down the hallway. You have 7 balconies, a common room and six rooms. There's a balcony in every room and one in the common room. There is a small bathroom in every room. You may go now. And welcome to Alfea high!-said Miss F. as she gave them their keys.
-Thank you.-they said in union and walked out of the office. They went to their dorm.
-Bloom, I have something to tell you, I'm a m…-they entered their dorm to find a black haired girl.
-Hi, my name is Musa, I'm guessing we're roommates?-said Musa.
-Yup. I'm Bloom, this is Stella.-said Bloom-So, is anyone else from our dorm here?
-No, not really.-said Musa-Well, this is my room. I guess I'll see you around more often.-she said as she walked in her room.
-That was a close one!-said Stella.
-What were you going to say?-asked Bloom.
-This is my room.-said Stella standing in front of a door-Come inside and I'll tell you.
Bloom went in another room and left her stuff there, then she went in Stella's room.
-What is it?-asked Bloom.
Stella sat down next to her with an open bottle of water in her hand.
-Bloom, I'm telling you this because I trust you, don't tell this to anyone.-Bloom nodded-Here it goes.
She poured water on her hand which was above Blooms leg, so there was water on Bloom's leg too.
-Stella!-yelled Bloom as they both transformed.
-Oh, so I guess we're both mermaids then.-said Stella.
-I think it's that moon pool event, remember?-asked Bloom.
Stella nodded.
-Remember, no touching water and no one is supposed to know about this, ok?-said Bloom.
-Ok.-said Stella as she put her hand above her tail and steam started coming out.
-What are you doing?-asked Bloom.
-It's my power, heating.-said Stella-Very convenient.
-I got a water moulding power.-said Bloom as she demonstrated on the water in the bottle.
-Cool.-said Stella-Now let's unpack.
They both started unpacking. What they didn't know is that Musa who, came to see what all the noise (the part when Bloom yelled at Stella) was about, saw everything from the door that was slightly open.
…
Tecna was already in her supposed dorm. It seemed empty, but when she peeked in a few rooms, she saw some girls unpacking. She opened a door of another room. It seemed empty. She went inside, when suddenly someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around to see a brown haired tanned girl.
-Excuse me, but this is my room.-she said pointing at the luggage under the bed.
-Oh, sorry, it seemed empty.-said Tecna-I'm Tecna by the way.
-Flora. Nice to meet you.
-Well, I'll see you 'round.-said Tecna as she got out of the room. When she did, she noticed someone familiar in one of the rooms. The door was wide open. First, she found the last empty room and put her stuff there, and then she went to the room she saw a little while earlier.
She went inside and tapped the girl's shoulder. She turned around. It was Layla.
-Layla!-They hugged.
-Wow, I knew we were gonna be at the same school, but not the same dorm!-said Layla.
-Me too!-said Tecna-What a coincidence.
-Now I really gotta wash my hands.-said Layla as she went inside the bathroom in her room. She washed her hands and turned around.
-Hey Tecna wh….aaah!-she fell to the ground with a tail-What is this?!
-You look like a mermaid.-said Tecna-Is this the first time you transformed?
-Obviously! Now help me out!-said Layla. Tecna touched Layla's tail that was wet and transformed too.
-Ok, I think we can freak out now!-said Tecna.
Just then Flora entered the room.
-Oh my!-she said, not looking very surprised.
-Help!-said Tecna.
-Here, have this.-Flora passed them towels, they dried off and returned to their normal selves.
-Thanks. How did you know what to do?-asked Layla.
-I'm just like you.-she said.
-Ok, we need explanation, you have to know more about this than us.-said Layla.
Flora started explaining, until it was dinner time.
…..
After dinner all six of them were at the dorm.
-Hey, why don't we make a slumber party in the common room so we can meet each other?-said Stella. The girls agreed. In about 30 minutes everyone was in their pajamas in the common room.
-I'll go first, I'm Bloom. I live with my parents and big sister. I'm a sophomore.
-I'm Stella, I know Bloom from summer vacation, and I live some time with my mom, some time with my dad. My parents are divorced. Also sophomore.
-My name is Flora. I'm a sophomore, and I live with my parents and little sister.
-I'm Layla. I live with my parents. Sophomore.
-My name is Tecna, I met Layla on summer vacation and I live with my parents. I'm a sophomore.
-I'm Musa. And I am a sophomore. I live with my dad.
They were all hanging out, until Musa called Bloom and Stella aside.
-Can I ask you something in private?-asked Musa. They nodded. They went to her room.
The three of them went inside and Musa closed the doors. She splashed water on Bloom and Stella. They transformed.
-Musa!-they said.
-Please don't tell anyone, we could be in big trouble!-said Bloom.
Musa smiled. She bent down and put her hand above their tales as steam started to rise.
-Are you doing this?-asked Stella.
-Yeah. I'm a mermaid too, I saw you in your room earlier, I just wanted to make sure. Sorry.-said Musa.
-It's ok. I guess we're in this together.-smiled Bloom.
They came back in to the common room and joined the party.
